[FiveStar]

The contract, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press, is for five years and worth $60.5 million. The fifth year of the deal is a team option.

now all they need to do is trim some fat (ie Mohammad,Murray, and probably Sheed)

Highway robbery...or Billups is a straight up idiot.

How he can give the team an option for the 5th year is beyond me.

Billups needs a new agent.

Although the deal is less than I thought the pistons would give him. It's a pretty fair deal. Although I like Billups, he's not getting any younger and more importantly played average in the last 2 conference finals. 11.5 million is fair for both sides.

I think its a fair deal. Chauncey is not getting any younger, but he still has skills and the experience which make him very valuable. Without Chauncey the Pistons would be nothing. Good to see my fellow CU Buff alum having a great NBA career. :)
